Zhu Yi's appearance in the winter will cause Gu Ailing to be criticized for her absence, is the frog princess wronged?The figure skating arena of this year's 14th Winter Games is like a bright pearl, attracting countless eyeballs, and the biggest highlight is not those familiar faces, but the shining debut of the new national player Zhu Yi. Zhu Yi is a name that I believe ice fans are already familiar with, she successfully joined the Chinese team with her own strength, and is the only Chinese athlete who has won the single skating ticket for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Zhu Yi's appearance in the figure skating event of the Winter Games instantly heated up the entire arena, but the focus of everyone's heated discussion here is not how amazing her skills are, but around her identity as a naturalized athlete. You must know that as a member of the Chinese figure skating team, Zhu Yi's performance in this Winter Games did not meet people's expectations, and it can even be said that it is a little unsatisfactory. She had a lackluster performance in the women's singles team event, finishing seventh and the last train in the national team, while a measly four points for Heilongjiang dropped her to the bottom of the team's standings.
However, the reason why Zhu Yi was able to attract so much attention at the Winter Games was not because of her mediocre record, but because she stood on the stage of the Winter Games unexpectedly and put on the uniform of the Heilongjiang team. This move not only shocked the public, but also pushed another naturalized athlete, "Frog Princess" Gu Ailing, to the focus of **. Many people are speculating whether Zhu Yi and Gu Ailing, who are also naturalized athletes, will participate in the domestic Winter Games, and most people tend that they may not participate in the war, after all, their identity is still in a delicate state. However, Zhu Yi's appearance broke this conjecture and made everyone wonder about Gu Ailing's absence.
Having said that, when Zhu Yi showed off his style at the Winter Games, Gu Ailing chose not to move, which undoubtedly caused ripples in the hearts of many audiences. For the people in our country, it is rare to be able to witness the demeanor of international-level athletes such as Gu Ailing and Zhu Yi at home, and the Winter Games was originally an excellent display platform. Zhu Yi's attendance gave everyone more expectations, and Gu Ailing's absence stirred up a thousand waves like a stone, triggering a deep sense of public belonging to the motherland, rather than just staying on the superficial issue of whether naturalized athletes can participate in domestic competitions.
Moreover, Gu Ailing's nationality issue has always been the focus of attention, especially the sentence she once expressed, "I am an American in the United States, and I am Chinese in China", which made many netizens confused and confused about her true nationality. Now, with Zhu Yi's participation in the Winter Games and Gu Ailing's absence, this contrast has made the public's doubts about Gu Ailing's nationality even stronger. Some people questioned that if Gu Ailing was really a staunch Chinese player, why didn't she participate in the Winter Games like Zhu Yi? In this way, all doubts about her identity may be dispelled.
Of course, there are many voices defending Gu Ailing. This part of the opinion believes that given Gu Ailing's super strength in the international arena, it is not much necessary for her to participate in the domestic Winter Games. Just imagine, if Gu Ailing really stepped on the ice of the Winter Games, it is estimated that she would be the only one to win the gold medal, so that other players with less strength may even have a slim chance of competing for silver and bronze. From this point of view, Gu Ailing's absence from the Winter Games seems to provide a stage for more domestic players to show themselves.
At the same time, although Gu Ailing did not appear in the Winter Games, she was not idle, and she still actively fought in the top competitions around the world and continued to shine. Some people feel that Zhu Yi and Gu Ailing have adopted different participation strategies, and they have their own reasons, and there is no absolute right or wrong. From this point of view, Gu Ailing will be criticized for not participating in the Winter Games, which seems to be a little wronged. Imagine, if Gu Ailing really goes to participate in the Winter Games, it is like a college bully competing with a group of junior high school students, even if she wins, she may not be able to win much applause, but chooses to take a step back and leave the precious competition opportunity to others, which is not a low-key support and support.
To sum up, Zhu Yi's appearance at the Winter Games and Gu Ailing's absence have triggered the public's in-depth thinking about how naturalized athletes are positioned and their sense of belonging to the country. Behind the seemingly unfair criticism, we should look at each athlete's choice rationally, understand their consideration of the trade-offs between different events, and respect their efforts and contributions to the cause of sports. Whether it is Zhu Yi or Gu Ailing, they are interpreting their love for ice and snow sports and the pursuit of national honor in their own way, and this spirit is the most worthy of our attention and praise.
